Sema 2012

Vegas for six days really sucks! Here are a few pics of me and the fiancé. Shout outs to Oscar, Lawrence from Savinni Wheels, John from Heavy Hitters, Chris from Mfest, Nitto tires, Jayson from DeltaVtechnologies and last of all, the boys on this forum, Doc, Enjoythemusic,Grwisher,Ken, Sunir,DJjonnie. You guys have all inspired me to bring our passion for the Bentley GT to another level. Thanks guys!Also I would like to thank my good friends Alberto and Eluises from Slek Designs. They build M series Bimmers. One of their wide body designs was at Sema also. Oh, and my designer Perry Yem.

Mr. Wedgeduck set me also say your car is sick AND perverted. That said since i have been called a pervert I really like the car.

I could see a segment of the Bentley owners that would not like such a aggressive retooling of a gentlemans' car turning it into a hooligan handful. I respect that community and actually understand them but I have room for the love of the exotic and wild. In full I'd love a full on modified SS with wild colors and race pipes and a second GTC in Black with an ECU upgrade and Fabspeed pipes.

Great to see pic of you and the lady.

Doc, Steven,Grwisher and yes Ken too. When my motor work is done, I need you guys to try this thing. It's the Hyde side to the Bentley platform. Yes it's perverted But I have never driven a more luxurious vehicle with this much power in my life. Driven Ferraris, Porches, Amg Benzos, Lambos, Panteras, and GTRs. Hands down they are all fast exotic vehicles. With luxury, I think not. Thinking of getting the fiancé to get an Italia and give rid of her funny looking Ferrari. I kinda want the new Acura NSX when ever that thing comes out. Heavy aero designs and motor work just drooling for the release. A GTR will be perfect for your daughter, those machines are so fun for the price. And reliable. Insurance is super steep for them though.

I'd love to get a GTR for her but I will NOT! If I find out you have some how got behind my back and fueled some desire for one your new name will be PekingDuck. Roasted well done.

I do not want to drive your car. I have enough trouble with lusting with out fertilizing it.

I want to driver it real bad. darn good thing your on the other side of the country.

You and Steven are the only ones I know that can tossed the cow around corners on tiptronic. My nephews and drift kids love manuals. Stephen having a race career in the past would probably do really well on a track with her. I just want to drag her 0 to 60, 0 to 100, 1/4 mile and mile. Top end I need a newer ride with that new transmission. If I can't get a contract with some of the major boys to get my next project inside the halls of SEMA, I got funds for another toy. Almost bought a GTR cause my nephews keep nagging me about one. Kinda want an Audi R8 v10 though. Reliability and performance, plus the bling factor , and not to break the bank. Help me out here guys. Love those new Vettes too, fast, reliable but no bling factor. I think Doc and Steven with a modified GTR will be kinda scary.

The new GTRs just do not look exotic to me. They are performance beasts and at a great price point for sure but would you really rather have a GTR or a 911 Turbo S? I am sure there are body kits and all that for the Nissan but it's more $.

I like Vettes but I agree no bling and exclusivity. I fell for the look of the R8 and that car got the whole exotic car thing going with me but I am afraid it falls short of some of my goals for a car. it is not the fastest, not the most comfortable, not the best tranny or the most fun to drive. Flash and style YES! The GTR would eat lit alive for half the $.

Come on argue.

Have debated doing an open track day with her as many events/days are easily accessible. i'd choose WGI as that is the longest and most appropriate track for the CGT within 500 miles or so of here. Frankly, i don't trust the stock (metal, not CF) brakes on the track (and don't feel like working out a way to run a brake/rotor cooling system). Once you've driven a very over-powered go-kart with full aero package.... kinda hard going backwards. Of course if you want to donate YOUR Bentley for me to, you know, to test drive it at the track

With Wedgy's car we could compete. I have no doubt that Steven would post the best time with Wedgeduck right behind. I will come in last place but be the most thrilled and appreciative boasting ear cracking grins. You see guys I am like a virgin and have a low bar of experience. I would gladly take last place and any ribbing connected with that just to be there and burning your rubber.

I have the carbon fenders with brake vents design and going through the molding process now. They will be put on as soon as I get it back from Jayson from Deltavtechnologies. 6 to 8 weeks worth of waiting. Lots of work on those upgrades, plus tranny work. I was going to invest in carbon ceramics discs, but you can wear and crack those things. For lighter disc, I can buy 4 to 5 good sets for the price of a set of carbon ceramics. I have no doubt that Steven can teach us how to drive that thing on a track. Audis are notoriously bad with trannies. My friend had a brand new TT,her tranny blew at about 6000 miles. Thank god for warranties. Took her a month to get her car back because they needed a new tranny to get shipped overhere.
